"In an increasingly callous world, we all exist with our own carapaces of scabbed-over sensibilities. Where great passion leaves off and mawkishness begins, I'm not sure. But our tendency to scoff the possibility of the former and to label genuine and profound feelings as maudlin makes it difficult to enter the realm of gentleness required to understand the story of Fancesca Johnson and Robert Kincaid." Robert, a peculiar artist, misplaced in the wrong century, has always felt obsolete, living on the edge of times. There was comfort in this kind of sorrow, stability in the uncertain, until confronted by the unexpected. He met Francesca, an Italian houswife, living in predictable, cemented path. Then, a forbidden journey began. I tear into pieces as I try to conceive the emotional intensity a solitary man can hold. Whether he walks alone or with someone but could not sustain, the inner desolation knifes through the flesh 🥺🥺 Same goes with a woman whose deepest, most hidden side unexplored, went suddenly awakened, the lifelessness shattered, the dry blossomed. The joy itself states the presence of loneliness. 🥺🥺 This is a story of a lifetime lived in moments, a taste of certainty in the spring of ambiguity, and a wild dream awakened beneath a seizing reality. I've always loved this novella, it's simple and profound...
